Guest NoDeity Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) What part of Canada? Sounds like you're probably in Quebec or Ontario. If you get out west, look for beers by Tree Brewing. If you like it bitter, look for Tree Brewing's "Hophead IPA". Another western Canada brewery I like is the Nelson Brewing Company. Their Paddywhack IPA isn't bad, though it's not as hoppy as Hophead. If you like a stout, try their Blackheart Oatmeal Stout.

So far I have tried: Chimay (this was pretty tasty) Unibroue Maudite (won't buy again) Which Chimay did you try? Red or Blue? I much prefer the Red (less sweet). I agree about the Maudite.

I've seen the Red Chimay on the shelf, but have never tried it. I'll have to give it a shot. The fact that it is corked is interesting to me.

The red, I had been meaning to try it for quite a while. It's pretty good, although at $6+ per bottle it's a little expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Right now I'm enjoying a... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/Beer/88.jpg Only the second time I've had one of these. The first time was when I was able to smuggle a bottle home from California a year and a half ago. I put IPAs in two categories: The amber-colored ones (like this one, Acme, Smuttynose) and the dark red ones (Victory HopDevil, SN Celebration). Stone IPA is the king of amber IPAs. Bitter hops, but not so bitter that it puckers your lips, with just enough malts to balance it out. Very fresh tasting. Very flavorful. Very nice brew.

Inkanta Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm actually drinking spring water cos I have to get up and run in the morning, but the other night I had a Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. It was the oddest thing. Odd because it really tasted good. The label is cute--a blue moon and pumpkins. So...if you are walking down the grocery store aisle, see some, and think, "WTF???" .... give it a try and let me know if it's just me, or if it's really not that bad....good even.

It's good for a Coors product. But a better Pumkin ale is Buffalo Bill's. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b216/spirit3trails/buffalobills.jpg Harder to find but worth it, I get mine at "World Market" Marvelous store to explore during the holiday's! Also I would recommend Buffalo Bill's Orange Cream Ale. Delicious real orange flavor goes down smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Stone IPA and shots of Patron. We now have a second fridge for the garage and it is strictly for beer. It is pretty well stocked right now so I stand there for a few minutes each time trying to decide which beer to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Hawker Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Sierra Nevada Tornado Ale... Excellent stuff.. I had a sample a few weeks ago at the SN brewery. Then tonight, I found it on tap at BJ's Brewery in Folsom CA.. Awesome brew... It's like a turbo charged IPA. Not as smooth as Stone IPA, and not as strong as Stone Ruination IPA.. It's somewhere in between.. It must be brand new. I couldn't find any info or pictures of it on the net. I also had a BJ's Jeremiah Red Ale. This is one of the best beers I've ever had. Extremely rich and tasty. It's a strong Irish Red Ale, very malty and not very Hoppy. http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com/brewery_page/b...e_jeremiah.html http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com/brewery_page/beerprofiles/LoResBeerLogos/jeremiah_low_res.jpg What a great night of Ale consumption.

bardan Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Wow, I haven't heard anything about that Sierra Nevada Tornado Ale, I'm anxious to try it! Tonight I'm drinking Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA which I really like and I'm getting ready to pour a glass of Chivas to go along with it.
